Dear Mr. Robinson:
Pursuant to the Planning Commission’s approval of the above referenced project on May 21, 2001, the Community Development Department has reviewed the revised site plan dated October
22, 2001 for compliance with the applicable conditions of approval. The applicable conditions of approval as stated in the letter from the City of Yelm, dated May 22, 2001, Notice of
Final Decision included:

that demonstrates minimum compliance with Section 17.45.060, Density Standards and Use, of the YMC. If the applicant can not comply with Section 17.45.060, then the allowed density
of the project will be 40 dwelling units.
The revised site and landscaping plan, dated October 22, 2001, complies with the additional landscaping requirements and as such the density bonus of 20% is allowed. The maximum density
